The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles. Let’s break down what’s going on at Playa de las Americas.
For the next week and a half, it’s dead flat. From Sunday the 26th of July all the way to Friday the 7th of August, you’re looking at tiny, weak surf. Swell heights are mostly a foot or less. The combined wave energy is in the low double digits for the first week – real weak stuff. A bit of a bump comes around the 1st and 2nd of August, with energy hitting 79 to 127, but heights are still only 2 to 2 feet. It’s surfable but nothing special.
The best of a bad bunch is Saturday morning the 1st of August. You’ve got a 2 ft WNW swell – the biggest of the whole period – with a 9-second period, so short period windswell. Wind is glassy out of the NE at 3 mph. That’s as clean as it gets. Combined energy is 79, so still weak, but with no wind you can make the most of the tiny bumps. The break faces SW, so the swell direction isn’t ideal, but beggars can’t be choosers. Crowds are “often” here, so expect company.
Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon is also worth a mention. A 2 ft S swell with a 13-second period, so more groundswell, and energy hits 127 (moderate). Wind is cross-off from the SE at 6 mph, so clean. That longer period could make it a bit straighter on the beach, but for the size it’s the best you’ll get.
Water temp is 73°, about normal for this time of year – nothing to report there.
Into the second week, it stays small. The 8th and 9th of August offer glassy mornings with 2 ft SSW swells, but energy is still weak. The 10th of August is more of the same. No big swells coming.
So, if you’re itching to get wet, the 1st of August morning is your cleanest option. But it’s a flat run, plain and simple. It’ll pick up eventually, but not in this outlook.
Rusty.
